Svi Mykhailiuk

Svi Mykhailiuk scored a career-high 26 points (10-17 FG, 5-9 3P, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, and five assists in the Hornets' 128-108 loss to the Raptors.

While certainly a performance to be proud of, fantasy managers shouldn't put much stock into Mykhailiuk's career day. The Hornets are ravaged by injuries, missing nearly all of their starters save for Mark Williams. He's been playing well of late but once starters return he'll be back on the bench.

Svi Mykhailiuk exercised his $1.9 million player option on Monday and will remain in Toronto next season as reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Svi signed a $3.6 million contract with Toronto last offseason and his opting to exercise this option comes as no surprise as the Kansas-product is on his 4th team in four years. Mykhailiuk, after falling out of the Raptors’ rotation late last season and even being demoted to the G-League in March, knows he would likely not bring in $1.9 million on the open market. The Ukrainian sharpshooter averaged just 4.6 points and 1.6 rebounds in 12.8 minutes across 56 games with Toronto this past season.

Svi Mykhailiuk has been assigned to the Raptors G-league affiliate team, Raptors 905.

Svi hasn't been much more than a depth piece for the Raptors this season, but he has been pretty solid at it. He now finds himself in the G-league, and it's unclear what the team's long-term plans are with him. Look for him to be a recall candidate if the Raptors are battling injuries.

Mykhailiuk registered 14 points (7-14 FG), three rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 22 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Kings.

The 23-year-old has now strung together three straight double-digit scoring outputs, a span in which he's averaging 15.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers, 2.5 assists and 2.5 steals in 24.7 minutes. Mykhailiuk has been a steady source of three-pointers and low-end points through 28 games since being traded to the Thunder back in March, and he should continue hovering around 20-to-25 minutes off the bench the rest of the way.

Oklahoma City Thunder SG Svi Mykhailiuk scored 14 points (5-15 FG) while adding in three rebounds and three assists during Sunday's loss to the Kings.

Fantasy Impact

Being one of only seven active players on Sunday, Svi Mykhailiuk took the most shots on the team. He dropped 14 points off the bench in a close loss to the Kings. With the Thunder shuffling the lineup often, we could see the veteran snipper get run often making him a good spot DFS play.
